Throughout Northern and Central Africa ethnic fighting and mass genocide has run rampant.

The Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice Equality Movement took arms against the Sudanese government, which was later named “The War in Darfur”. Which sparked the anger of the government and sent their military to begin murdering many villages, that were non Arabs. In many accounts reported about 2 million were killed over 2 decades.Scarce resources played a huge role in the mass killings of Sudanese (non arab).

Darfur is the western region of the African country of Sudan. Currently, the people of Darfur have been continually attacked by the Sudanese army and by proxy-militia controlled by the Sudanese government. Families are being uprooted and starved, children tormented and murdered by the thousands and women raped without punishment. Innocent civilians in Darfur continue to be victims of unthinkable brutality. Many people have become homeless and seek protection in refugee camps in Chad. Yet despite its outward appearance, Darfur has a vast ethnic diversity and a complex, ancient system of resolving conflict. Genocide has occurred in several places around the world, but in Darfur there are certain reasons why it

In recent times, the media has highlighted the genocide that has been occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur, Sudan is a country roughly the size of the state of Texas (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire ethnic group of people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do away with them all (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Beginning around 2003, according to Darfur Scores (n.d.), “the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month.”

The United Nations has described it as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis". As of 2003, the Darfur genocide is being carried out by the Sudanese armed forces and funded Arab militias known as the Janjaweed. These militias are historic rivals of the rebel groups known as the Sudanese Liberation Movement (SLM), and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). Darfur is a region in western Sudan on the border of Chad, Libya, and the Central African Republic. Darfur is estimated to have about 6 million people living there. The conflict started in 2003 and has continued through today. The Janjaweed were accused of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population. The Janjaweed are destroying Darfurians by burning villages, polluting water, murdering, raping

Ever since the start of the civil war (December 2013) in South Sudan, tensions have been running high between two opposing groups. Those who support the President, Salva Kiir, and those who support his fired deputy, Rick Machar. This conflict has caused food shortages and disease for many people. The one thing the parties have in common is the brutal violence especially towards women. According to the article,

British colonialism ended in Sudan in 1956 and from that point on there would be significant conflict within the state, one of the main causes was because of differences in religious beliefs. The North, and most of the state were predominantly Muslim while the South was Christian and a mix of other religions. After a long civil war, which ended in 2005, Sudan was divided and the new state of South Sudan was created in 2011; it is the UN’s newest member. This was deemed a major accomplishment; not only were the South Sudanese celebrating but the Americans and the UN were as well since it was believed that this would finally bring peace.

Well according to Freedom House , a website that accurately rates country’s human rights and freedom on a 1-7 scale, Sudan’s ratings are the worst possible. Their human rights is a 7/7, 1 is the best 7 is the worst, their civil liberties is 7, and their overall freedom is a 7. When your country is overall awful in human rights something needs to change. Freedom, political rights, and civil liberties are the difference between an underdeveloped and a developing country. Sudan, obviously, is underdeveloped. When Britain left Sudan, Sudan was lost. They had so many decisions to make and paths to choose. When a developed country has control of an underdeveloped country the developed country should at least try to help the underdeveloped country to become somewhat developed. Britain, the parent, left Sudan, their kid, on the side of the road and drove

The Darfur Conflict took place in Sudan, Africa. Darfur is 170,000 miles; they have many volcanic high lands. They can get heavy rain fall. “(1)”The Marrah Mountains are one of their famous mountains in Darfur.”(1)” It was started by the government hitting a military base in 2003.”(3)” Before the military base hit the government was having some environmental issues. They didn’t have enough natural resources for their people. The government had a lot of food and water shortages. The Darfur conflict was then put in the arms of the Janjaweed. These people were Arabs. They thought that they had to cleanse the community of any non-Arabs people. The government agreed and the people fought back. This was the start of the civil war in Darfur.

Darfur is a region in western Sudan with diverse ethnic groups (11 Facts About Darfur). Here is a map of Darfur, http://www.worldatlas.com/img/areamap/0e09591d0cca13e9d33e4250f1a94702.gif.

The killings began in February of 2003, and still happen today (The Basic Facts about Darfur). The Janjaweed

Genocide in Darfur began in 2003 and is still happening present day. Genocide began because non-Arabs in the western Sudan region believed that the government was ignoring them. In order to get the governments attention non-Arabs started to vandalize government buildings, the government responded by creating an Arab militia. The effects of the militia have been devastating. They have destroyed villages and murdered an extreme amount of people. In total, hundreds of thousands have been killed and two million people have been displaced. All peacekeeping efforts have been shown to be unsuccessful; and every month it is estimated that 5,000 people die as a result of the ongoing genocide.

Sudan and their contested border to secure any tensions with oil exportation. Even with the deal being signed it only partially resolves some of the issues between the two neighboring states to the brink of war, Sudan and South Sudan. Despite the influence of the United Nations as well as the United States through the North South Peace Act, the ethnic tensions still exist continuing to stall Sudan’s progress as a state. Tensions have been high since the South seceded from Sudan in July 2011. “Africa and the International System: The Politics of Survival” , by Christopher Clapham (1996). How did these states manage to survive- for a period of some thirty five years, in most cases after formal independence within a global order dominated by states

While still struggling to achieve peace with Sudan since its independence in 2011, South Sudan is now rife with inner-conflict. Rebel forces led by the former Vice-President Riek Machar want to overthrow the South Sudanese government, led by President Salva Kiir.

From 1972 onwards, the government “usually ran Darfur through officials brought in from other parts of Sudan, mainly from Khartoum” (Darfur: Origins). What Britain did basically doomed Non-Arab Darfur to “a future as an underdeveloped colony of Sudan’s Arab-speaking Nile Valley heartland” (Darfur: Origins).

The origin of the war between these two regions goes back to the 1950s when the country, which was previously two separate nations, was made one after World War II by the west. Shortly after this union, Sudan was emancipated from England. 1983 marks the beginning of the violent relations between the North and South Sudan. The initiation of this conflict was brought forth by the Islamic Sudanese of the North, invading with military force the Southern Sudanese Christians . From 1983, it is estimated that at least two million people have been killed in the violent duration of this genocide, most of whom are of the Christian faith and lead non-violent civilian lives. Attention on human trafficking was brought into the international community’s scope with close proximity to the beginning of the violence as two professors from the University of Khartoum shed light on the subject. Ushari Ahmad Mahumud and Suleyman Ali Baldo learned about the genocide and enslavement being practiced on the Dinka people, a tribal group in the southern Sudan, and upon this discovery they dicided to investigate it further. What they found was that raiders from the north were killing the Southern Christian men and kidnapping the women and children to be sold into slavery. The most disturbing part of this discovery was the newfound knowledge that this had been going on for over two years. Professors Mahumud and Baldo
